To all those who argue for putting TCP/IP inside the OS/2 box, Surprise,
TCP/IP networks are not the only networks.  Using your arguments, TCP/IP,
Netware, Lan Server, Lan Manager, Banyan Vines, Lantastic, etc. should ALL 
be included in the box.  Hmm, how big is this box??  How much does it
cost??  Who will buy it if it is this big and this expensive??  I can't
possibly imagine getting all this extra for free, each of these other 
companies wants/needs a cut.  Seems to me that the more reasonable
approach is to buy the network connectivity that you need as a separate
package.  Our needs are too diverse to be satified in a single product.
